ext4: Fix buffer head reference leak in no-journal mode

We found a problem with buffer head reference leaks when using an ext4
partition without a journal.  In particular, calls to ext4_forget() would
not to a brelse() on the input buffer head, which will cause pages they
belong to to not be reclaimable.

Further investigation showed that all places where ext4_journal_forget() and
ext4_journal_revoke() are called are subject to the same problem.  The patch
below changes __ext4_journal_forget/__ext4_journal_revoke to do an explicit
release of the buffer head when the journal handle isn't valid.
